While visiting relatives I spotted this landscape truck. The owner of the business must have a sense of humor!
Friedrich August von Hayek ?
reply
Yeah. That guy

That wordplay is pretty deep and not easy to catch, I had to search it up. ‘Serf & Turf’ refers to Hayek’s book The Road to Serfdom? Like a Hayek style dish ‘à la economic freedom’?
reply
Yes. I think the message literally meant that we are the slaves working the land of these people. Whatever the owner meant, it's clever. "Surf and Turf" (different spelling) is a common restaurant seafood/meat dish.

Maybe the whole point wasn’t to be that deep, it was just to make it rhyme! Ahahaha

Well, you don't see the word "serf" used too often anymore. I'm sure most of his workers are foreigners from central america, with little opportunity to earn money in other ways. Native born US people don't want these jobs. If you really want to take the analogy further, the US centrally planned economy has thrown things off balance. The free market has been stifled, and this lowest rung on the ladder group of immigrants needed to be imported.
